Another enjoyable Kurt Austin adventure from Cussler following his trademark format that leads from an historical event (two in this case) to a present-day adventure.

A mysterious collision between an environmentalist protest ship and a navy ship leads to the discovery of a organisation plotting to make millions from seafood.

Cussler stories are reminiscent of James Bond movies, and in this case the story line ends up vaguely familiar with Goldfinger. ( )

Kurt y Joe, miembros de la agencia nacional espacial NUMA, ocupada en proteger los fondos oceánicos, han acudido a rescatar a la tripulación de un crucero danés que se hunde tras haber colisionado con el barco del grupo ecologista radical Centinelas del Mar. El rescate es un éxito, pero la investigación posterior de Kurt le conduce desde los ecologistas radicales hasta la Corporación Oceanus, una oscura multinacional cuya principal ocupación son las piscifactorías marinas. Tras una serie de avatares que casi le causan la muerte, Kurt descubre que en las piscifactorías se están realizando experimentos genéticos. Un nuevo desastre medioambiental de consecuencias catastróficas se está preparando y, a pesar de que todo aquel que se interponga en el camino de la compañía acaba muriendo, no es momento de echarse atrás: solo los miembros de la NUMA pueden llegar a controlarlo.

I truly loved this latest outing with Kurt, Joe, Admiral Sandecker and even an appearance by Rudi Gunn. I now long for another installment featuring Dirk, but I am thrilled that with the introduction of Kurt, I no longer have to wait a full year and a few odd months before I see something new from Cussler.

St. Bart's 2015 #3 - another enjoyable adventure with the boys and girl of NUMA. As is weirdly often the case, i somewhat randomly choose the books for my annual island vacation, and while I do choose a book that I know has island connections, others seems to innocently creep in. Unbeknownst to me, a fairly important part of this takes place on the Faroe Islands between Iceland & Denmark. Now there is a new place on my ' to go' list! Lots of typical Cussler swashbuckling and unfathomable good luck follow the crew from Copenhagen to the north woods of eastern Canada. I do enjoy how Cussler continues to allow me to think differently about the oceans and their importance to the planet. Great vacation fare. ( )
